| AMD to Address the Market of Tablets in 2012 Advanced Micro Devices was late with chips for netbooks by about two years as it initially did not recognize their prospects, which naturally translated into domination of Intel Atom-based netbooks on the market. When it comes to tablets, AMD does acknowledge huge market potential of the new form-factor and plans to jump on the bandwagon sometimes in 2012. As reported, the first-generation AMD's ultra-low-power platform based on accelerated processing units (APUs) code-named Brazos will employ Ontario and Zacate processors with 9W or 18W thermal design power, which is too high for handheld devices like slate personal computer. The second-generation APUs for ultra-thin notebooks, netbooks, tablets and other low-power devices - code-named Krishna and Wichita - will be made using a 28nm process technology, which will ensure considerably lower consumption of energy and dissipation of heat. As a result of that, AMD will position code-named Wichita APU for netbooks as well as tablets. http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/mobile/...s_in_2012.html
